Smiles Make the Greatest Gifts

Brighten the holidays for a struggling neighbor

Millions of American parents cannot afford to buy their kids Christmas presents.

The holidays bring added financial and emotional stress to families living in poverty.

"It was such a blessing to be able to give my children Christmas gifts. I couldn't have done it without Salvation Army."

Holiday times are tough when you can't afford a meal or gifts. The Salvation Army helps families make the holidays bright no matter what.

LOVE BEYOND

The Salvation Army brightens the holiday season for those in need through:

These iconic Red Kettles signal the start of the holiday season. Donations collected in the Red Kettles support the programs and services in your neighborhood and community. Bell ringers are crucial to the success of the Red Kettles. You can volunteer to be a Bell Ringer today. To learn more go to Register to Ring now.

It is a great holiday tradition for family, friends, church organizations, work groups, and more. You can join the Salvation Army of Springfield as a Bell Ringer from November 2nd to December 23rd by volunteering at one of the Red Kettles.
